receive a data structure corresponding to the plurality of items, wherein said data structure comprises a respective image and a respective location for each of the plurality of items; and

automatically display, on said mobile device, respective images for the plurality of items while simultaneously displaying at least said first object and said second object within said multimedia container, wherein each respective image is configured to initiate acquisition of a respective one of the plurality of items by a user upon selection of the respective image by the user.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium as described in claim 7 , wherein the computer executable instructions further cause the computer system to:

receive an indication that a user is not interested in a first item of said plurality of items;

determine a second item related to said first item for recommendation based on said first item, said first object, and said second object; and

display an image for the second item contemporaneously with displaying at least said first object and said second object of said multimedia container.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium as described in claim 8 , wherein the computer executable instructions further cause the computer system to:

receive an indication that a user is interested in the second item;

determining a third item for recommendation related to said second item; and

display an image for the third item contemporaneously with displaying at least said first object and said second object of said multimedia container.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium as described in claim 7 , wherein said plurality of items comprises a first piece of free content and a second piece of pay content.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium as described in claim 7 , wherein said data structure comprises a rating corresponding to an item of said plurality of items.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium as described in claim 7 , wherein each respective location comprises a uniform resource locator (URL) and wherein said data structure further comprises a respective description, and a respective title for each of the plurality of items.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium as described in claim 7 , wherein at least one of said plurality of items is selected from a group consisting of an image, a book, an audio file, a video, and a web site.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium as described in claim 7 , wherein said plurality of items are determined based on analysis of text of said first object and said second object.

15. A system for displaying a graphical user interface, said system comprising:

circuitry configured to:

access, within a mobile device, a data store corresponding to a multimedia container, wherein said multimedia container comprises a first object and a second object, wherein said multimedia container is a member of a hierarchy of multimedia containers stored in said mobile device, wherein said hierarchy comprises a home multimedia container at a root level of said hierarchy, wherein said data store comprises metadata associated with a first content of said first object and a second content of said second object, and wherein said multimedia container is operable to comprise one or more applications, widgets, and pieces of content;

send said metadata associated with said first content of said first object and said second content of said second object;

determine a plurality of items for recommendation based on said metadata, wherein said plurality of items are different from and do not represent said first object and said second object, and wherein said plurality of items are related to at least a portion of said first content of said first object and at least a portion of said second content said second object;

receive a data structure corresponding to the plurality of items, wherein said data structure comprises a respective image and a respective location for each of the plurality of items; and
